Abu Dhabi → Phuket.

A private jet from Abu Dhabi to Phuket connects the UAE capital with Thailand's most celebrated island resort: the extraordinary Andaman Sea coastline of Patong, Kata, and Karon beaches, the luxury villas and resorts of Surin and Bang Tao on the quieter west coast, the Phang Nga Bay limestone karst islands rising from the emerald water (including James Bond Island), world-class diving and snorkelling, some of South-East Asia's finest spa and wellness culture, and a food scene from street-side pad thai to Michelin-recognised tasting menus. At approximately 4,400 km, Phuket is a large-cabin jet sector with one technical stop. Our advisors manage all details 24/7.
